Steering sticking after FBO upgrade

I installed VRSF charge pipe, VRSF down pipe, and VRSF FMIC for a 2016 M235 Auto XDrive this last weekend. Now my power steering is sticking while steering randomly, no grinding or abnormal noises.

Do you think that there could be some rubbing where I installed any of these parts? Maybe the charge pipe is rubbing on it?

I haven't pulled it back apart yet to visually inspect, if this has happened to someone else before, any advise on what these symptoms could indicate would be great.

Thanks in advance.

Chances are its rubbing on the charge pipe.

Turns out the thread of one of the charge pipe brackets was touching the power steering shaft. I had to rotate the bracket to clear it, now all is well. That was a boneheaded mistake, luckily nothing broke because of it.
